Summer and ice cream are synonymous, and if you’re in town for the College World Series, you need some spots to grab a sweet treat. Fortunately, Omaha has several standout ice cream shops, including one that’s annually acknowledged among the best in America! Here are the best places to get ice cream in Omaha.
Best Ice Cream in Omaha Near Charles Schwab Field
Coneflower Creamery
The creamy consistency and velvety mouthfeel of the ice cream at Coneflower Creamery have earned not only the adoration of Omaha faithful, but also national awards. Yelp named Coneflower as the best ice cream shop in America in 2023, and a few spoonfuls are all you need to see why. Coneflower’s “farm-to-cone” approach ensures you’re getting fresh, seasonal ingredients in your ice cream instead of dyes and artificial sweeteners. Plus, in addition to their Blackstone District location, there’s a Coneflower location inside Millwork Commons—just blocks away from Charles Schwab Field!

Centi
If you prefer gelato—a denser, creamier Italian-style frozen dessert—over ice cream, Centi is the place to go in Omaha. This downtown shop offers a variety of unique flavors, including Mango Sorbet, Strawberry Horchata, and Dulce de Leche. Centi also serves sweet and savory crepes, along with a selection of coffee drinks.

An Omaha favorite since 1984, Ted & Wally’s is beloved for its rich, ultra-premium ice cream. Ted & Wally’s combines local ingredients with century-old antique equipment to craft its menu, which changes daily. This Downtown Omaha shop has churned out more than 3,000 flavors over the years, and given how much Omaha loves this ice cream, that number won’t stop growing any time soon.
